According to Iraq’s Joint Operations Command (IJOC), he was killed in the bombing by Iraqi army.

Al-Obeidi, who was once a brigade commander for former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s special forces unit, the Republican Guards, was in charge of the depraved death cult’s operations in western Iraq and eastern Syria.

The twisted jihadi was also a fugitive from Abu Graib prison and a former inmate in Camp Buqqa, according to IJOC spokesman Colonel Mohammed Ibrahim.
